The Family Farm

Ari A. Cohen / Canada / 2014 / 70 ' / English / S.T. French

In Production

Food issues around health, the environment, access and empowerment are at the heart of this exceptional farm doc.

Synopsis

In its journey across the majestic Canadian countryside, The Family Farm explores the diverse agricultural pursuits of earnest farm families, and serves as a window into the food production process that modern day consumers have become estranged from. The film begins in Nova Scotia with egg farmer, Aaron Hiltz, who was confronted by the provincial egg board and asked to get rid of the majority of his flock. Hiltz’s story highlights the issues many farmers face and the flaws associated with what he considers an outdated system.
